...hell," ask many Britons, "should we fight for the Germans?" This corner-pub view of the Berlin crisis is shared by an overwhelming majority, according to Britain's Gallup poll. Only one Englishman in eight believes that Berlin is worth a nuclear war; 81% put their faith in a summit meeting. Only 3% of all Britons think they have a good chance to live through all-out nuclear war. To the pollsters' loaded question, "Would you rather be Red than dead?", 31% plumped for Red, while 21% opted for nuclear war in preference to Communist subjugation; the other...
...decline from his 1959 popularity peak, when prosperity, his confrontation with Khrushchev, and a top London advertising agency all burnished the image of "MacWonder." At their lowest ebb since the election ("this valley of sluggishness," Gaitskell called it), the Conservatives are trailing five full points behind Labor's Gallup-estimated hold on 37-5% of the population.

While Rockefeller's strength had increased hardly at all since...
Despite a widespread assumption that Americans are apathetic about civil defense, the Gallup poll revealed this week that a surprising number of people are preparing for atomic attack. Reported the poll: 12 million U.S. families have already done something to get ready. The poll's breakdown indicates that 9,000,000 families have stored food away for such an emergency. Still another 3,000,000 have altered their homes to provide a measure of protection. Some have reinforced basements; others have built fallout shelters. Thus one out of every five U.S. families has taken some action-just double...
...Yale class of '36, as Author John Hersey (Yale '36) puts it, suffers a collectively recurrent malady: "galluping marquanditis, the urge to categorize, to poll, to sort men into various labeled lumps of humanity." Every five years, in a sort of gallup poll, the men of Yale '36 sort themselves to find out how they are doing. The latest answer: very well...
